Colors are so vibrant and blend well together for the interest and appeal. Greens in the background brings out the main subjects. Adding the flowers adds to it also. Thank you for sharing nature with us all.

Fruit in Basket, very well done. Love the colours of the fruit and basket against the jungle green. Mauve flower creeper just sets off this beautiful composition, great light and lovely story telling. Sandy

This certainly has the WOW factor! The vibrant colour is brilliant within the fruit basket and I love the crazy jungle background with many different greens. The light and shade works well and the purple flowers give a nice lift of movement and interest.

These are virtual sixes because that's all I can give to
you.My gosh Shawn,this is so
beautiful.I just love the design
that swirls down from the back
ground and across the fore
ground.It looks like a fantasy
hanging garden of luscious
greenery.The flowers you added set it off perfectly.The
lighting is also superb.
I believe it will be a real conten
der in the contest.Best of Luck to you..

What a georgeous painting. Love the deep greens of the leafy areas of the background. Very tropical looking. The fruit basket that seems to float is wonderfully painted. The illumination coming from it is awesome. Purple flowers are a nice touch also. Very pretty visually. Lots of depth, great focus with all areas being sharply expressed. Great light and shadow. All colors compliment each other very well and gives this lots of punch for good impact. Love it! Well done. Wish I had a six to give you for this one.

The outcome of this work...
The reality verses the fantasy...
Is confusing to me. If that is the intention, then you have done a good job. I like both fantasy and reality,and I like combining the two,but somehow I feel my feet are not planted on solid ground when I look at it. Good work though. It made me think

Enchanting and eye catching. The delicate purple flowers over the green foliage gain a lot by the abstract shapes underlying them; the fruits and basket seem to have their own interior light - awesome!

The colors are gorgeous! You somehow made two subjects that I wouldn't think would belong quite that way together in the same painting look great. Makes me want to reach in and grab one! Its a beautiful painting, thanks for sharing. Kim
